Van cover for Thatcham

A full licence is the minimum; delivery experience is the brief.

Van work in Thatcham is where customers meet your business. We brief every driver on the standard you set at the door.

For Thatcham operators we cover single days, peak weeks and ongoing van rounds. Peak can be booked well in advance.

Across the South East, trunk flows arrive via the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover; van rounds take the parcels from there to the customer's door.

Van planning

Setting up delivery cover

Across the South East, final-mile demand changes week to week. Temporary drivers let a depot add or drop rounds without changing its permanent team.

Trade and wholesale runs have fewer stops and heavier goods. The driver needs to handle the load safely as well as keep to the schedule.

For a van driver request, include:

  • The van size: small, panel, long wheelbase or Luton
  • Whether the vans are electric
  • How many drivers and for how many days
  • Any two-person or heavy items on the round
Compliance

What every van driver we supply holds

For larger vehicles we check the licence category matches the gross weight. A petrol or diesel van over 3,500kg needs C1 entitlement, not a car licence.

Once the licence is confirmed, we look at recent multi-drop work: stop counts, delivery apps and the areas covered.

van FAQs

Van drivers in Thatcham — FAQs

What licence does a van driver need?

A category B licence covers vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass for petrol and diesel. We check the licence and review endorsements before a driver starts. Heavier petrol or diesel vans go to drivers with C1 entitlement.

Can you supply drivers for same-day courier work?

Yes. Same-day requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm. Tell us the collection point, the destination and the time the job must land.

Do you cover depots near Thatcham?

Yes. We book van drivers for depots across the South East. Tell us where the vans are based and when loading starts.

Do you also recruit permanent delivery drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire. Temporary cover can run alongside the search.

Can you cover two-person van deliveries?

Yes. Tell us about the items and the access so we match a lead driver who handles the customer well. Bulky items need two people who work safely together.
